T.V.’s Funniest Catchphrases!

Just this week NBC had a two hour special “TV’s 50 Funniest Phrases”. I caught some of it, but mostly I went back and forth between other shows until they came to the top Funniest T.V. Phrase of all time, and the winner is:

“Yada, Yada, Yada” – from Seinfeld.

I don’t know if I agree with that choice, there are so many great ones.

Here is the list from #50 to #1:
